Penderyn Copperopolis Icons Of Wales No 12

Penderyn Copperopolis is the 12th installment in the “Icons of Wales” series of single malt Welsh whiskies from the Penderyn Distillery. The name “Copperopolis” is a tribute to the city of Swansea’s history as a global center for copper smelting, a history that Penderyn’s newest distillery now occupies a part of. The distillery in Swansea is housed in the Powerhouse of the old copperworks building.
